Panic Attacks

[ravenwortman]

Has anyone had any luck controlling panic attacks without medication? I have had them for years, and I have always taken a small amount of Xanax when I feel one coming on. (No worry of addiction because I only have them once a month) I am also on Effexor. Any ideas?

Sometimes I can stop my panick attacks.

I breath deep, focus on my breathing, and sometimes I write what I'm feeling.
